| 6 | The QEMU community is made up of a mixture of professionals and |
| 7 | volunteers from all over the world. Diversity is one of our strengths, |
| 8 | but it can also lead to communication issues and unhappiness. |
| 9 | To that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask people to adhere to. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | * Be welcoming. We are committed to making participation in this project |
| 12 | a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of level of |
| 13 | experience, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, |
| 14 | disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, |
| 15 | or nationality. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | * Be respectful. Not all of us will agree all the time. Disagreements, both |
| 18 | social and technical, happen all the time and the QEMU community is no |
| 19 | exception. When we disagree, we try to understand why. It is important that |
| 20 | we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Members of the |
| 21 | QEMU community should be respectful when dealing with other contributors as |
| 22 | well as with people outside the QEMU community and with users of QEMU. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | Harassment and other exclusionary behavior are not acceptable. A community |
| 25 | where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is neither welcoming nor |
| 26 | respectful. Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include: |
| 27 | |
| 28 | * The use of sexualized language or imagery |
| 29 | |
| 30 | * Personal attacks |
| 31 | |
| 32 | * Trolling or insulting/derogatory comments |
| 33 | |
| 34 | * Public or private harassment |
| 35 | |
| 36 | * Publishing other's private information, such as physical or electronic |
| 37 | addresses, without explicit permission |
| 38 | |
| 39 | This isn't an exhaustive list of things that you can't do. Rather, take |
| 40 | it in the spirit in which it's intended: a guide to make it easier to |
| 41 | be excellent to each other. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by the QEMU project. |
| 44 | This includes IRC, the mailing lists, the issue tracker, community |
| 45 | events, and any other forums created by the project team which the |
| 46 | community uses for communication. This code of conduct also applies |
| 47 | outside these spaces, when an individual acts as a representative or a |
| 48 | member of the project or its community. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | By adopting this code of conduct, project maintainers commit themselves |
| 51 | to fairly and consistently applying these principles to every aspect of |
| 52 | managing this project. If you believe someone is violating the code of |
| 53 | conduct, please read the :ref:`conflict-resolution` document for |
| 54 | information about how to proceed. |
